>>38012It's fiction you gormless ignoramus, having an evil villain is not in fact a necessarily bad thing for a story, idiot.
>>38011>People who are literally too dumb to understand that the evil queen in Snow White isn't just evil for evil's sake but is a symbol of vanity and its destructive tendencies.That's what I meant by evil for evils sake; she roils in her own vileness, vanity, arrogance and other vices and is so a petty, heartless bitch.
>Snow White would be fairer than her in principle simply because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and she actually interacts with other people who appreciate her. Yes
>Snow White is about something more than just trying to entertain you and make you feel smart for being able to empathize with one of the principal characters. Yes, but my point is that the antagonistic character doesn't need to be some overly-complex character. They should have human motivations within the story (unless its a being of evil or dedicated to evil like Morgoth or Palpatine), but that doesn't necessarily need them to be "reasonable" or "relatable". Coco's Ernesto de la Cruz is evil, but his motivations are only reasonable to a sociopath, to those that lack empathy and are thus evil - the genuine lack of empathy towards (an)other beings. That's what I mean by this slew of "relatable" villains that "Dindu Nuffin" being annoying, because it's either idiotic pseudo-philosophical crap like Thanos, David 8 and Zaheer, or just feels-over-reals garbage like Scarlet Witch, Black Manta and Shin Uchiha.
Look, I like a good redemption story and even a good villain that has relatability to the heroes, those can be very compelling too, BUT it's been done to death and most recent examples are just fucking boring "society made me this way" cliche shit; it's boring and uninspired.
